Nin’s Bin – Kaikoura, New Zealand

One of the South Island’s best kept secrets is Nin’s Bin. It has been a favourite stop for Kiwis heading up the coast from Christchurch to Kaikoura for many generations. The menu is simple: crayfish and mussels. Pair the freshness (picked straight from the sea) with reasonable prices and unbelievable views (teal green ocean meets snow-capped mountains) – and you’ll want to stop for more than lunch. You’ll want to stop forever.

Established in the mid-1970′s, Nin’s Bin is only 20 minutes north of Kaikoura (the Maori term for ‘eat crayfish or lobster’). ‘Kai’ means eat and ‘koura’ means crayfish.

Where: On the side of State Highway 1, 20 minutes north of Kaikoura. Open from 8am-6pm (Summer) and 8:30-5:30 (Winter). Eftpos and VISA are accepted.
